NCGA GOP leaders Berger and Moore appealed the judges' decision to the state Court of Appeals, citing "uncharted territory for judicial activism," an ironic description of a court's response to what many across the state and nation find to be uncharted territory for legislative activism dating back to 2011's illegally gerry-mandered district maps and continuing through the June session's lightning fast unveiling and approval of a record SIX constitutional amendments with no discussion, no hearings, and no hint of due process. The 15-member Court of Appeals has a Republican majority.

Last but not least, the NC GOP was dealt another judicial blow when a federal district court ruled that the candidates of the newly-formed NC Constitution Party must appear on the November ballot. This overturns part of the NCGA "sore loser" law they passed in June that would have prevented candidates who lost in a major party primary from running in the general election representing a new party, as they feared this conservative party could split their vote.

The NC GOP is paddling as hard and fast as they can to stay in power using whatever means necessary. They know their days are numbered, as even many people in their own party are disgusted with their continued over-riding of due process and unwillingness to compromise for the good of our state. Let's STAMP NC BLUE in November!
